"That means most of those 27 million downloads are from business users with corporate Office 365 accounts."
That's not entirely true and I fail to see how that is bad?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/537146a8ecad04cc1284d4c5mr_alexuyMon, 12 May 2014 18:09:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/537146a8ecad04cc1284d4c5
The app is free to download, but if you want to edit or use all of the Office features you need to be subscribed to Office365.

CloudOn is free, but not on the up and up .
CloudOn isn't paying per user connected. With Millions of downloads and not charging for the product. I highly doubt Microsoft would license their office product to CloudOn for them to give away for free while MS office 365 is $100.In order to virtualize office or any component of Microsoft office a company must pay per user download or per user that accesses the content. If you host it on Amazon Web Services they only charge you via data, not per user. therefore CloudOn is violated a license with Microsoft somewhere. Free lawyer opportunity.
